Um, Happy Anniversary...

On the evening of March 15 Nate was at work and I was home poking around on Facebook. I saw an old college friend of Nate's post about her anniversary. Then I though, "Hey they got married about the same time we did."

So I quickly texted Nate and said something like "Hey, I just remembered it's our anniversary tomorrow, what do you want to do?"

Then I thought about it some more and realized, "No, today is our anniversary! Oops."

Which reminded me of a funny story.

While Nate and I were engaged he did an internship with the fire dept that included several 12-hour shifts and a couple 24-hour shifts. One day, about 2 months before our weddding, but after the invites had been printed, Nate handed me a calendar and a list of dates. He had just scheduled his days for the internship and asked me mark the calendar while he drove. I went down the list, marking as I went, until I got to March 15th.

Me: "Nate, what is special about March 15th?"
Nate: "What?"
Me: "Why is March 15th special?"
Nate: "Am I working a 24?"
Me: "Yes, but that is not why it's important"
Nate: "What is it?"

8 years later and clearly we were made for each other.
